6. Discussion and Background
The Police Department requires a consistent and reliable supply of ammunition for duty use, training, and qualifications to ensure officer readiness and public safety. Dooley Enterprise, Inc. (Dooley’s) has been the department’s current supplier of ammunition and has demonstrated the ability to consistently meet these requirements. Dooley’s of Anaheim, California, is the only authorized California distributor for this brand. The proximity of Dooley’s to the department allows for purchases in small quantities and allows for product pick-up on an as-needed basis. The Council has previously authorized Dooley’s as a sole source vendor and this sole source specification is a continuation of that policy.
The Police Department is requesting the continuation of ammunition from sole source vendor, Dooley’s for a total amount of $153,000.
